Aegis Mobility’s has released its Third Annu­al Work Place Dis­tract­ed Dri­ving Sur­vey. It’s based on respons­es sub­mit­ted by 547 pro­fes­sion­als in the safe­ty, risk and fleet man­age­ment dis­ci­plines from employ­ers across a vari­ety of dif­fer­ent indus­tries.

Key find­ings include:

Near­ly three quar­ters of employ­ers in the sur­vey have already adopt­ed dis­tract­ed dri­ving poli­cies – 71% of respon­dents work for com­pa­nies that have adopt­ed some form of pol­i­cy to man­age employ­ee use of mobile devices while dri­ving.

Employ­ers with­out a pol­i­cy will adopt one soon. Among 29% of com­pa­nies with­out an exist­ing pol­i­cy, the sur­vey finds that 52% plan to adopt a pol­i­cy. Of those, 55% plan to adopt a pol­i­cy with­in the next 12months.

Efforts to enforce dis­tract­ed dri­ving poli­cies remain steady. 86% of total respon­dents report that their com­pa­nies take some mea­sure to enforce dis­tract­ed dri­ving poli­cies. This num­ber is steady when com­pared to 2012 sur­vey results.

There’s a lot more work to be done. Con­fi­dence is lack­ing in cur­rent pol­i­cy enforce­ment. While most com­pa­nies are tak­ing some steps to enforce com­pli­ance with doc­u­ment­ed poli­cies, con­fi­dence in those efforts is lim­it­ed.
